<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 1054257, member: 59"]Welcome, chra! I believe your "dish" (although in that shape I would expect it to be a platter) is not German, but English. First, a crowned rose without any letters on either the crown or the flower is English according to the archived Pewter Tankards and Flagons site. (See this page on the subject.) <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20101128095410/http://pewtertankardsflagons.com/index.php?p=1_19_Crowned-Rose-marks" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://web.archive.org/web/20101128095410/http://pewtertankardsflagons.com/index.php?p=1_19_Crowned-Rose-marks" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20101128095410/http://pewtertankardsflagons.com/index.php?p=1_19_Crowned-Rose-marks</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly the lion mark you show cannot be a maker's mark for every pewterer in a town. That lion may be on the city's flag and crest, but it will not be the only mark used by pewterers there. Where did you find a maker's mark for Grieffenberg, Germany?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
